Motorcycle officer hurt in Clinton Motorcade
DALLAS — A Dallas police officer escorting Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's entourage to a rally in Oak Cliff Friday morning lost control of his motorcycle and was seriously hurt.
The accident happened on the Houston Street viaduct around 9:20 a.m. The motorcycle apparently hit a concrete embankment.
HD Chopper 8 pilot Troy Bush, who was flying over the motorcade, said he witnessed the officer being thrown an estimated 20 yards by the impact.
The victim, whose name was not available, was rushed to nearby Methodist Medical Center for treatment.

Seriously, I do hope the officer is alright. It must be horrible duty to ride motorcycle in her motorcade.

God Bless the officer but he should drive a BMW with ABS brakes.
